Slow logon

I have a Dell Latitude D410 running XP Pro SP2, all patches, service packs,
etc installed. It has an Intel 2200 wireless card however I use the native
Windows client for wireless. The laptop is configured as a domain member.

When at the office and connected to the network (via cable), the user can
log on without problem. However, when away from the office she experiences a
delay from the time she enters her password and hits "enter" until she has a
useful desktop, the delay almost 2 minutes consistantly. This delay occurs
whether or not she has wireless enabled, and only occurs on initial logon
after starting the computer. During subsequent Log off / log on it functions
normally.

Group and Local policy is configured to cache a ridiculous number of logons
and I haven't touched the "wait for the network" policy. Further this is
the only mobile out of about 15 or so that displays this problem. I'm at my
wit's end - any thoughts?
 
Does she logon to the domain or local computer?
